Course details
The aim of this course is to allow students to develop a comprehensive understanding of the theories and concepts behind different approaches to community. These concepts and ideas will be used to inform a consideration of the role of qualitative methodologies in working with and researching communities, including the place of action research and participatory research. Processes that will be examined include community profiling and needs assessment, and specific methods that will be considered include focus groups and interviews. The course includes a discussion of how identified research outcomes may lead to the development of community interventions, such as project or resource development. The course concludes with a discussion of some of the key trends, issues and concerns in contemporary community discourse. This course will assist those that intend to work in community settings by fostering an understanding of the interplay between theoretical approaches, conceptual perspectives, and the methodological considerations needed to work appropriately and effectively with diverse communities
